Time And Free Will by Henri Bergson
An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness
This philosophical work delves into the nature of time and consciousness, challenging the mechanistic view of time as a series of discrete moments. It argues for a more fluid and continuous understanding of time, closely tied to human experience and perception. The book explores the concept of "duration," emphasizing the qualitative, subjective experience of time as opposed to the quantitative, objective measurement. Through this lens, it examines the implications for free will, suggesting that true freedom is found in the dynamic flow of lived experience, rather than in predetermined or externally imposed structures.
